Jindal's PAC takes on 'liberal media' in fight over 'no-go zones'

Fox News might be backing down from its campaign against "no-go zones," but Bobby Jindal isn't. And now the Louisiana governor's political action committee is taking up the cause.

Stand Up to Washington PAC, which was launched by Jindal last year with a mission to send more conservatives to Capitol Hill, urged supporters on Wednesday to stand up to the "liberal media" and sign a petition in solidarity with the potential 2016 contender.

"Tell the liberal media to stop their shameless attacks against Governor Jindal for telling the truth about radical Islam," reads the page on the PAC's website.

"It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so-called 'no-go zone,'" Jindal said. "The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom."

In an interview later Monday on CNN, Wolf Blitzer asked Jindal if he wanted to take back his claims about "no-go zones." Jindal said, "not at all."

"And I'm also making a bigger and maybe even more controversial point that radical Islam is a grave threat, we need Muslim leaders to denounce the individuals, not just the acts of violence," Jindal added.

Jindal has drawn criticism for the claims.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Monday, human rights lawyer Arsalan Iftikhar said the Indian-American governor "might be trying to scrub some of the brown off his skin."
